Howdyall:

A lot of people want to know if this or that palm will make a nice curve if you plant it off the vertical. Some kinds make a rather abrupt kink to vertical instead of curving.

It turns out that for Majesty palms, Ravenea rivularis, the answer is yes, they do make a nice curve.

This was taken Christmas day, in La Habra, CA.

Here are a couple sabals (S. domingensis or S. maritima, not sure which) that we recently got. They would have been 30+ feet tall if they hadn't fallen over several years ago in a storm.

Does anyone know if you can plant a 3g palm sideways to create this effect or is it too small amd grow out of it?

Empire- it really depends on the palms. I tried this deliberately with a Queen a few years ago- didn't work. I did NOT try this with a Livistona a few years ago- it did it on it's own. It really depends on the genus.

Realarch- funny how distinctive that palm is- I recognized it right away as a few others did, no doubt!

Here is a Phoenix canariensis growing across from El Drago in Icod de los Vinos on Tenerife in the Canary Islands I saw back in 2007.

I'm always up for learning new things!

That Brahea armata in habitat is a stunner. And the Syagrus amara photo is enchanting, not unlike the photo in McCurrach's Palms of the World.

A lot of great shots above but that Phoenix Canareniss is amazing.... Below is one that was probably caused by lightening!
